Data Patterns, with years of knowledge and experience in reliable hardware engineering, can offer design and development services for High precision analog, High speed digital, mixed signal and RF design, from elementary boards to high-end complex systems.

Our design philosophy revolves around:

Re-usability – Quick product development

Scalability – Seamless enhancement

Adaptability – Various Platforms

Interoperability – Co-existence

Testability – Test coverage and diagnostics

Maintainability – Long term support and protection against obsolescence

Data Patterns’ ability to not only design the product but to also manufacture the first prototypes, test the product, provide first article inspection services, and undertake production runs, all within the same establishment, offers a significant advantage of single point communication, and consequently, flawless synergy with you.

Our domain exposure includes Embedded Systems, Communication Systems, Signal processing Systems, Control Systems, Navigation and Radar processing. We are experts in these domains, and boast of the ability to develop supporting algorithm development, simulation and validation for the desired end use. To support our design and delivery, we are exceptionally competent in Mathematical Modeling, Data analysis, Feasibility checks, System development, System and Performance analysis, and rapid prototyping.

When required, for realizing hardware design, high reliability processes to eliminate error progression are followed in Data Patterns. Events such as Power Analysis, Thermal Analysis, Structural Analysis, FMECA (Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), act as gates to design reliability into the product.

Data Patterns design and development processes have been validated by international customers. Good product realization practices such as release of BOMs at 3 stages, preliminary, interim and final, aid smooth timely sourcing of components, and therefore, quick turnarounds. Early kick-off for procuring long-lead time components is ensured by advance selection and sourcing of critical components by our supply chain experts aimed at avoiding delays downstream.

Our designers have also developed an in-house tool for calculating cumulative derating, loading and signal integrity, to ensure the right components are used for the desired optimum performance. Signal integrity checks are carried out both Pre and Post PCB routing. Additionally, simulation to capture overshoot, delays, cross talk, ringing, signal rise/ fall time, using Mentor Graphics applications, allows us to pre-empt problems and increase reliability of the board.

The statistics on our PCB Design Capabilities speaks for our pioneering zeal and perseverance, as an Indian company, deeply invested in ensuring we deliver the best of the best products globally:

Effective use of DRB (Design Review Board) CMO (Configuration Management Office), FAB (Failure Analysis Board) and SAB (Salvage Analysis Board) ensures learning is looped back into the system, continuously enhancing our expertise and ability to support the desired performance objective, including extended use. DRB reviews the PCB for in-depth functional, performance, reliability, safety, testability, standardization, and manufacturability. It provides cross-functional assessment and recommendations. CMO is a single point version control and traceability entity that ensures extensive documentation, which is archived for ease of retrieval, and allows for the maintenance of the system, even with change of support personnel. FAB and SAB captures, and grows, our knowledge base to preempt and prevent failures.

If you need a vendor who understands your PCB requirements, simple and complex, and supplies the product with professional empathy, it’s more than likely that we are the people who can deliver.
